Hey thanks for the reply guys, here’s some belly shots I took just now unfortunately they don’t actually really show how fat she is in person compared to the photos but it’s the best I could do, Rory they are kepted outdoors in a giant aviary in total I have 10 Cunningham’s living outside together fine with 6 blue tongues and 2 gidgees, I got 2 big females from a pet shop years ago one of which is pictured above they will be going on 9 this year from memory I only had 1 baby last year but prior I ended up with 5 and that’s all they have produced so far for me which I’m happy with just confused a tad about as too how first season for them I got 5 and last season only the one unless the other female had her first year last year or whatnot I’m from Hervey Bay qld and found the baby last year on aus day so I was hoping to see some bubs soon so I’m still unsure if it truly is gravid thank you

For starters, adult blue tongues will nail young cunninghams if given the chance. Easier to remove the blue tongues when the Cunninghams are expecting. Removing a single Cunninghams for quarantine to give birth may result in fight club when the adult is returned to the group. Cunninghams suck with how nasty they can be when strangers are re-introduced, blood relatives..whatever, doesn't seem to matter, they forget they used to know them. Fighting is the default programming here, easier to re-introduce the blueys after.

You asked in a PM what my animals look like when gravid. These pics were taken back in October after what I reckon was ovulation.

SEQLD form

Southern New England form
and on 1st of jan

Sydney sandstone form

another sydney

All have now had between 5 and 7 young.

You also asked what my enclosures look like.

I have a couple of these, 500litre poly trough.

These are my favourite, Bunnings used to sell a 220litre UV stable tub. Some of these have been in use since the late 90's.
The bricks stop the new borns slipping out through the corners.
These button and loops can be found at bcf
Usually run a pair per tub. The trick is to stack the hides to give multiple temperature options.

I haven't lost a cunningham yet to heat, warmest day I have had is 47C. In the real hot weather though, the skinks tend to moon bask as I call it.
Hope this helps.
